Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Garver went 1-for-4 during Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader and will take a seat for a second straight contest. Willians Astudillo takes over being the plate while C.J. Cron starts at first base Sunday.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

D'Arnaud was the sole supplier of runs for the Rays courtesy of his clutch sixth-inning hit, which came with the bases loaded. The versatile veteran is hitting a rather ordinary .250 (8-for-32) in September, but he's managed to drive in 11 runs on that modest tally by virtue of some extremely timely hitting. Factoring in the three runs d'Arnaud plated Saturday, his career-high RBI total now stands at 65.

Trevino entered Saturday's game after starter Jeff Mathis was removed due to a back injury. He went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in an 8-6 loss to the Athletics.

Trevino was slated for a day off after three consecutive starts, but the rest lasted just two innings. After a slow start at the dish, Trevino has picked up since late August, batting .381 (16-for-42) and never going more than one start without a hit. The Mathis injury should not affect his role as Trevino was already starting the bulk of games. Isiah Kiner-Falefa should serve as the backup while Mathis is unavailable.

Collins went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Collins' second-inning double snapped an 0-for-19 run of futility. Despite the struggles at the dish, Collins made his fifth straight start Saturday. The White Sox are giving the 2016 first-round pick, who is batting just .113 in the majors, a chance to establish himself against major-league pitching.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a walkoff solo home run in the 10th inning of Saturday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

He stuck it to his former club, driving an Alex Colome cutter off the top of the wall in right field that was confirmed as the game-winning homer after review. Narvaez has gone yard twice in the last three games, and on the year he's slashing .280/.355/.468 with 21 homers through 121 contests after hitting only 12 in 221 career games during his three seasons with the White Sox.

Mejia (oblique) could rejoin the Padres as early as Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Mejia began taking batting practice last week and has since moved on to game action in the instructional league in Arizona. The Padres will head to Milwaukee for a four-game series beginning Monday, during which Mejia could rejoin the team. He has been on the 10-day IL since Aug. 30 while nursing a strained right oblique.

Caratini went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in a 14-1 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Entering the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh, Caratini completed the scoring with a solo homer off Parker Markel. Caratini has played less in September with Wilson Contreras (hamstring) now healthy and Jonathan Lucroy also on the roster, but he has still been able to generate a .277/.359/.466 slash line over 206 at-bats this season.

Perez is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

He went 2-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1, accounting for two of the Indians' five hits as they lost 2-0. Kevin Plawecki is starting behind the dish and hitting eighth.

Garver is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Indians.

He went 1-for-4 in the day game and had some key frame jobs to help the Twins to a 2-0 victory. Jason Castro will start behind the dish and hit eighth in the night game.

Nola is not in Saturday's lineup against the White Sox.

He is hitting .179 with two home runs and one steal in 28 September at-bats. Shed Long gets a start in left field while Tim Lopes starts at designated hitter and Daniel Vogelbach starts at first base.
